The songs dating back to the 70s and 80s have been revisited and translated into fusion, samba-jazz and jazz-rock, with a musical language without genre boundaries. We made our debut at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome on the occasion of the “Jazz meets the East and Brazil” event and then in February 2018 with our performance; in the meantime we produced a CD entitled “… something of Flora” released in September 2018.
